Part 1 Common Questions
The examiner may ask any of these in a real exam. Aim for 20–30 seconds per answer — give a direct response and add one specific example or reason.
- Do you enjoy watching films?
- What kind of films do you prefer?
- Do you prefer watching films at home or in a cinema?
- How often do you go to the cinema?
- Do you enjoy films from other countries?
- Is there a film you have watched multiple times?
Part 1 tip: Don't give one-word answers. Use the question word to structure
your reply — if asked "Do you enjoy…?", answer "Yes, I do, because…" and add a brief example.
Aim for 2–3 sentences.
